Astronomical spring has already struck – the weather will soon allow us to swap out our winter wardrobes for lighter ones. This may raise many questions: what does a stylish man really need to look his best in the upcoming season? I invite you to a short lesson in men's style for spring.
Fashion must-haves for men this spring
Even now, while temperatures aren't at their highest, it's worth checking your wardrobe to see if you have the basic pieces that will easily allow you to create many outfits. With the right foundation, you'll be able to create many outfits with a relatively small number of items.
Here is a list of several items worth having in your spring wardrobe:
- Linen shirt
- A nude T-shirt to wear under the shirt
- Jeans in 2 colors: dark and light
- Light-toned chino pants (brown/gray/blue jeans)
- Polo shirt
- Two T-shirts, white and black
- Linen jacket
- Leather/suede biker jacket
- Denim jacket
- Braided leather belt
- Thin sweater
- White sneakers
- Moccasins
- Shorts (chino style)
- Knitted T-shirt
- Stylish sunglasses
- Headgear (e.g. cap, hat)
- Ankle socks (sticking out socks in casual or smart casual style don't look good)
- Men's jewelry
With a solid foundation of the pieces mentioned above, you can create a multitude of looks. Here are some inspirational pieces from the most important wardrobe staples.
Linen shirt outfits
Linen is a material that's perfect for warmer days due to its absorbent and breathable properties. A linen shirt will work well with a blazer and chinos, as well as with jeans and white sneakers or shorts and loafers. Linen shirts are often quite lightweight, so it's worth remembering to wear a nude ANSIN undershirt underneath to prevent any see-through.
Linen jacket
Linen jackets are a great option, especially on warm days, as they typically don't have a lining and the linen itself is highly breathable . It's important that the jacket is of good quality. Linen is a very durable material, so if you invest once, you can be sure it will last for years . Such jackets pair well with linen shirts and T-shirts, as well as jeans and elegant loafers.
Light trousers
Dark trousers look very elegant and stylish, but in the summer, it's worth switching to lighter colors for less formal occasions, which will liven up the entire outfit and add a fresh touch . You can pair light jeans or chinos with a shirt, polo shirt, or classic T-shirt, and depending on the occasion, you can wear any blazer or jacket. For example, you can pair chinos with a white T-shirt, a denim jacket, white sneakers, a hat, and sunglasses. And in the evenings, when it gets cooler, you can wear a plain sweater under the jacket.
Knitted T-shirt
This is a less popular wardrobe item among men, but it can add a unique touch to an entire outfit. It's usually made of knit fabric, which is also used to make thin sweaters. It's important that it's made of natural materials (e.g., cotton or wool), which ensure breathability. You can pair it with almost any type of trousers or jacket, or even try pairing it with a casual blazer.
Leather/suede biker jacket
A biker jacket is an absolute spring must-have . Its timeless design makes it the perfect complement to any outfit. You can pair it with a casual shirt and chinos, or simply with a sweater/T-shirt and jeans.
Of course, you can mix and match any of these outfits. For example, for work, you can wear chinos, a linen shirt, a linen blazer, and elegant loafers. For an evening out with friends, simply swap the blazer for a biker jacket and add a few stylish accessories like a hat or a woven leather bracelet. Remember to keep all your wardrobe items in good quality (we, of course, recommend T-shirts and nude undershirts) so they last as long as possible. So, are you ready for spring?
